"Oh, what a beautiful view of this shallow reef."

"Mixed with the roots of countless mangrove trees around it, the ecology here is literally enough to make a documentary about the micro-biosphere."

In the mangrove forest, a group of people floated up with oxygen cylinders, and one of the blondes took off the respirator in her mouth, and her beautiful eyes rolled in admiration to everyone.

"Indeed! The shallow beauty of the coral reef and mangrove roots is indeed quite pleasant to look at. ”

"By the way, Jierika, don't you work for a TV station? How about you plan to make a documentary here? ”

"Well, forget it, I'm in charge of beauty-related programs, ecosystem documentaries or something, and that's another department in charge, but I can suggest they come to this film."

"This is good, if you shoot a good show in the station, it will be your credit at all, haha"

The six men and women were talking and laughing, without the slightest psychological burden.

At this time, it is the beginning of October, and the scenery around the mangrove forests in Palau is very pleasant.

The afternoon sun shines through the leaves of the mangrove forests in the shallow waters, soak up the sun, and dive in the crystal clear water to see everything.

However, just as a group of people continued to move towards the inner area of the mangrove forest, suddenly, a man named Harvey sniffed his nose suspiciously.

"Huh? Why do you suddenly feel the smell of flowers around you? ”

"Is there one? It seems that there is, this fragrance is very light, I have never smelled it before, is it the fragrance of mangrove blossoms? A woman suddenly wondered.

"How is it possible, I have seen some introductions to the mangrove forests in Palau before I came, and the flowering period of the mangroves has long passed."

"Is that so? So what's the deal with the scent? And I'm feeling more and more intense. ”

"I smell it too, it's really fragrant, this smell, and it always feels like it's a lot more energetic."

A group of people kept looking at the surrounding mangrove forest in confusion, but there was no bloom in the surrounding mangrove forest at all.

And there are no other plants or trees in this mangrove forest except for mangroves, after all, this is in the sea, even if it is a shallow sea area, it is an area facing the land on the street.

But the sea is the sea, and even if it is a shallow sea, there are very few plants that can grow in this environment.

"The fragrance seems to be wafting from that direction, let's go and find out, it's still early anyway."

"Okay, let's do it together. I'm also curious to see how there is such a floral fragrance in this environment. ”

Curious, the group began to swim towards the heart of the mangrove again, and as the people went deeper, the water began to get shallower and shallower.

Without diving, these people can even walk through the mangrove forest, which is less than two meters deep, with mud and tree roots on the bottom of the sea.

Soon, just after everyone entered a certain area, the surrounding mangrove trees grew very crowded.

The rows of tree trunks were almost huddled together, and the branches and leaves of the mangroves were stacked on top of each other, even darkening the area around the mangrove shade.

However, at this time, the man who took the lead had already tried to squeeze through the narrow gap in the mangrove trees.

At this moment, squeezing through the slightly narrow area of the tree trunk, the man's vision suddenly widened.

At the same time, the man looked at the open area ahead, and he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed:

"Ah!! Come on, God, there's a big mangrove tree here. ”

"Yes, it should be it, look, this mangrove tree is full of flowers now."

With the man's cry of surprise, a group of people suddenly squeezed through the narrow area of the surrounding mangrove forest.

Then, the group of people looked at the ring area that suddenly became open in front of them, and looked at a huge mangrove tree that suddenly appeared in the center of the ring area, and they were all stunned for a while.

"Wow, this mangrove tree is too big! Looking at this height, the height of this mangrove tree above the water seems to be more than 50 meters! ”

"And, you see, this mangrove tree grows magnificently! The whole tree looks bloated, but it looks very atmospheric. ”

"When it blooms at this time, this mangrove tree can't be mutated, right? Although there are few cases of mutation of plants and organisms in nature, there should still be cases, right? ”

A group of people, full of excitement at this time.

At this moment they began to walk forward quickly, and soon came to the foot of the huge mangrove tree.

And it was only after arriving under this huge mangrove tree that the group realized that the thickness and height of this tree were really far from comparable to the surrounding mangroves.

"It must have mutated! At this time, the flowering period of mangrove flowering is definitely wrong. ”

"Besides, I don't know if you have noticed, but it seems that someone has carefully arranged around this huge mangrove tree we are in now."

"The surrounding mangroves all seem to have been artificially removed, and they just form a dense ring, perhaps just to protect the tree's growth, or even to conceal its existence."

"You say, could this be a new species of mangrove artificially bred in the Norwegian Nature Park?"

A woman looked very excited, and she said as she used her underwater camera to photograph the mangroves in front of her while analyzing the situation around her.

"Cultivated?"

A group of people were a little stunned, but soon the man named Harvey suddenly shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, if it's artificially cultivated, there should be someone to guard this place, right?" ”

"Even if there is no one, the tree will be described, right? What if a tourist comes in and destroys the tree? Isn't that a big loss? ”

Seeing Harvey say this, several people around him also nodded hesitantly.

"yes, it obviously doesn't look like someone has been around here, and there are no traces of artificiality."

"And if the surrounding mangroves have just been moved, or if they have been moved before, they will definitely leave some traces, but if you look closely, you can't see any damage to the roots of these mangroves underwater, or even have traces of artificial fixation."

"But, it's strange, this ring doesn't look like a natural formation, and it's such a big mangrove, haven't the people in Palau Nature Park ever found it?"

"Even if this is used as publicity, it can attract a lot of tourists, and it is too bad that this mangrove tree is not displayed on the official website and brochure, right? It's really confusing~"

"Why don't we go back and ask later? If no one finds out here. Maybe we can find an opportunity to invest in the tourism company that manages this mangrove forest."
